put on my tymar w/ats non gated

[hugeredford]

had some pre bent intercooling pipes off of a semi to make the pipe the total cost---$35 for the filter

Which turbo is that? (ATS made two non-gated variants)

Also, somewhat OT...did you relocate your glow plug controller? Was that part of the turbo install, or did you choose to put it there? Did you have to alter the wiring any?

Thanks!

snail shell style and I did the gp mod. The other wiring is mine- custom with a K- because the cab was set up for a 460 gasser

I was just going to ask whythere's a TFI "looking" module hanging on the inner fender(behind the air filter, left of the master cylinder assy)

-you should have seen the gobb of wires I cut out when I put on the cab

Maybe a daytime running lights module? At least here in Canada, I've seen a bunch of Fords of that era with something like that.

I was wondering about the same thing Towcat saw. I'm concerned about the "stuff" at the turbo inlet around the metal air intake you made up. If thats a red rag creating a gasket it will shred and the turbo will eat it. Then you will be replacing the turbo. The wheel is spinning around 130,000 rpm at the high side. Anything... Even water hitting it at that spped will kill it. Other than that you did a nice job. I like it. What are you using on the filter so it collects the dirt and dust?

Looks like a shop rag. You need a 3" to 2.75" reducer. I bought one from Airflo. Poke here.

the filter just kidding and thats an o-ring if I ever saw it. but in all reality you gotta do what you gotta do right.

that's pretty slick how long did it take you to get ordered and shipped. I also had second thoughts of the rag gasket but it is tight tight tight and clamped. But still I want it right.

They ship super fast but it takes five days or so to get here. They're in the Pacific Northwest. They have a wide assortment of goodies for anybody looking to build a custom intake or exhaust.
